Augrented Insights Report for 526 Wales Avenue

526 Wales Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building in Mott Haven, owned by Briseis Brasci and constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years, with the most concerning being a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in April 2021 that required emergency HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification.

Water-related problems were documented in late 2018 with both heavy flow and slow leak issues, the former resulting in violations. The building has faced multiple code violations requiring attention between 2019-2023, including structural issues like leaky roofs and damaged plaster in public areas, exposed wiring in the third-story hallway, and various maintenance matters affecting the third-floor apartment (Unit 3) such as bathroom repairs, kitchen plumbing issues, and pest control requirements for roaches and mice. More recent concerns have emerged regarding exterior modifications and parking regulations, with several Department of Buildings complaints in 2023-2024 related to an unauthorized metal awning/carport and a fence exceeding permitted height.

An active violation from September 2023 regarding the fence's height and sidewalk encroachment carries a $500 penalty. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2025 show zero infestations, and rodent inspections have generally been passed, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in late 2019. The property's maintenance history suggests a pattern of addressing violations once cited, though some issues, particularly those affecting Unit 3, have recurred over time.
